Child or Adolescent Issues
Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
I particularly understand what it is to be a parent: I have 4 sons, now grown and 8 grandchildren. I have also learned a lot through my clients and from professional development courses. Parents must address all of their children's' needs, in addition to their own and teach their children to address every single one of those needs when they become adults. Growing up is not easy and adolescence can be a particularly tough time. Please reach out and let your community help.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Berry Didier Nibogora - Bilingual CBT therapist @ CMAP Health
Counsellor/Therapist, RP(Q), CCPA, LLM
Children and adolescents are different human beings for which tools for adults do not work. Equally, they are not a homogeneous group and while some may be more visual and audio oriented; others may be more conversational. While some like light and informal settings, others may prefer a focused conversation in a structured environment. Depending on their developmental stage, they have needs and priorities that as helper we need to have an understanding of for us to connect, build a working alliance and help them not only buy into therapy, but also gain from and look forward to it. Finding their currency is finding their values and working out goals that align with what they value the most. Regardless of their age, they need to feel seen, heard and valued. Autonomy, relatedness and competence are the basic psychological needs that the human species strive for all life long.

I support adults, kids, and teens with the challenges that come up while growing up like friendships, school stress, family changes, big emotions, or figuring out who you are. Together, we find ways to cope, build confidence, and make things feel a little easier as you navigate everyday life.

Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
Children and teens don't heal the same way adults do—they need someone who meets them in their world. As both a trained therapist and an experienced mother and grandmother, I know how to connect across ages: through play with younger children, walks and activities with teens, and deeper conversations when they're ready. Your child won't feel interrogated or judged—they'll feel understood. Together, we'll create safety where past hurts, family struggles, and overwhelming emotions can finally be expressed and processed at their own pace. Whether your child is anxious, acting out, or withdrawn, healing happens when they feel truly seen and accepted.
